meh. not worth the money. You're adding 2 inches to a wheel behind the pad. I want to see a company widen a wheel in front of the spokes

I'd say so considering that's an amazing weld job. Welding isn't exactly easy and I know I've messed up a bunch of welds when I lived on my parents farm and in Ag in my high school lol

Might aswell just buy some new wheels unless your just in love with those. The offset on the 19s still isnt aggressive enough for me

Hopefully if your payin someone to do this they have the machine to spin the wheel and weld at the same time. Its all automated

I would be very sketch about rolling with wheels like that. Something about added width on a wheel NOT done by the original manufacturer just seems risky to me. Plus, like the others said...who is THAT obsessed with the OEM 19's that they would do this?

well I like the idea of getting more traction, but there is no point in doing that. The wheels are forged for a reason, when you cut them and weld in some other random aluminum you are weakening the entire structure. not to mention have fun balancing that thing...
